oops...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well and happy, well my glasses are fixed thank goodness it was either the opticians or staple them to my head and I couldn't find any pink staples so the opticians it was, they even moulded the ends to a deeper curve so they wont fall off now...did you ever have one of those days when everything you touched you dropped, I call them cack handed days, I was colouring and dashing around late yesterday afternoon, got three cards ready for photos then I spilled my colouring water on them, I saved this one but only after the water had washed over her a little bit, I managed to save the hair with a it of dark brown but shes a little bit washed out on the face skin tones, I didn't have time to redo her and do the paper piecing again so had to just use the card, I hate my colouring not being right, the other two had to be binned though...right now I have explained about my card I will tell you about my card for today lol...its for our new challenge at Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar challenge, this time its our wonderful June's choice and she chose the beautiful combo of Blue & White, I thought straight away of soft baby blues but then I bought this amazing paper pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...its one of the new Glitz pads and is called Vintage Blue, I am loving the pads I bought from these new ones they are lush papers and I love the patterns in this one, I haven't a clue what this fabulous Tilda is called but I coloured (and water washed lol) her with distress inks and paper pieced her beautiful dress...I added some lace, 2 ribbons and a Prima Audrey Rose - Snow rose and a few pearls to finish...the lush sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and I'm also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp challenge and Charisma Cardz challenge...I'm remaking my two cards today so don't think I will be heading out...have a wonderful day everyone and watch out for glasses full of inky water

Good morning firstly wow a huge thanks for all your wonderful comments yesterday on my card, I love those digi's don't you, so beautifully drawn, I promise I will get round to your fab blogs to comment as soon as I can...at about midnight last night I remembered I hadn't put the rubbish bin out for the refuse men in the morning so one look outside and a shudder later I'm upstairs dressing for the antarctic, I had my pj's on two pairs of socks a pair of boots, my artic fleece, pink fluffy dressing gown and a green scarf, I'm slip sliding about dragging this huge black bin out to the end of the drive, managed to keep my footing until I stepped back in the house and whoosh and one bruised bum later sitting in a heap on the floor and I catch a glimpse of myself in the glass doors looking like the multicoloured mitchelin man, I couldn't get up for laughing, moral of this tale remember to put the bin out earlier in the day lol...its a double post day today so forgive the long post....first is my Just Magnolia challenge card which this week is an anything goes challenge with a touch of sparkle...I chose this fab Edwin, I don't think hes used enough do you

I coloured him with distress inks and teamed him up with some of the new Basicgrey Marjolaine, the spotted is called Buttercream and the check is Molten cake, the stunning puffed glittery letters are Thicker's and I'm so proud of the snowflakes as these are the first I have made from acetate and covered in glue and glitter, messy but so worth it I think, the sketch is from Simon says challenge and I'm also entering this for the Stampin for the Weekend Winter challenge (oops too late)

Right now my second card is for the fab Crafty Catz challenge 61, Happy New Year where the lovely Suzie kindly asked me to do a Guest spot and I jumped at the chance

I used this Mo's Digital Pencil Reach for the Stars image which is perfect for New Year I think, I also did a little word art on it to put the Happy New Year logo on his sash, hes coloured with Distress inks and I teamed him up with this Craft Creations paper which is so glittery in real life but really doesn't show up too well on here...all I needed to finish was a stunning gingham ribbon and one of my swirly bows (you fed up seeing these yet lol)
